when i was a wee fella we used to keep guppies in big jars on top of the fridge for warmth they bred there too try thermometer on the fridge top to see if its warmer, might work

thats to catch the stuff that comes out of my mouth

take your snorkel varanophile

put fish in big plastic container with heater if you have internal filter, canister filter or air operated sponge filter they will be alright til you repair tank or even just air stone but slow down on feeding do 20% water changes every second day if you like convicts are relatively tough make sure heater is not touching the plastic, suspend from stick into middle of container if your concerned good luck PS you may lose the fry

well done varanophile, needs a concerted effort from auckland area rep keepers the more numbers the more weight you carry this is just the start of probably nz wide strategy from authorities

its the right colour well done hans

angels live with my aros etc but they wouldn't last long with the africans would look more like black siver dollars - no fins

the bird likes you and wants to buy you so he made a deposit guy in a pet shop says to the owner those birds down there are the same as those birds in the cage higher up but they cost more why? thats because they're on higher perches

nice play on words mincie have posted this before bk but seen as stud dog thread can probably post again

looking good

IMO when breeding colour varieties they usually start off with one or a few arriving in a batch from a normal pair to then fix the colour, line breeding to both parents or putting siblings together usually occurs a new colour most times commands a better price so usually these lines become a "closed line" to keep the colour coming through fry can be difficult to raise already without including weaknesses from continued inbreeding as well imported fish may have all come from the same breeder and even from the same batch, so usually we start off from an already inbred line so if your fry work out you should have a nice strong line of gold rams in nz good luck

:lol: Caper

as Clint Eastwood would say "you just have to ask yourself one question, do you feel lucky" if it is recessive you may have to try more than one female if they are blues when doing colour varieties is always best for the strain to bring a normal back in every couple of generations, makes the line stronger or if you can start with 2 lines with unrelated out crosses to further strengthen the strain good luck and may at least half the babies be golds

nice one

no have been waiting for big ones to pop up first serious fish i bred, them and half-beaks so still my favourite fish, sentimental value :oops:

IMO offspring should be stronger, and breeding gold females back to dad will further the gold ram strain

doesn't sound like a fair trade i will throw in 3 ornates as well

you are a tease lovely fish, takes me back a few years

beautiful girl there ira we used to have a male and i miss the fluff how much is shipping going to be and is the fluff plucked, shaved or just gathered off the clothing and furniture? or if you prefer i can swap for a litre of slobber off our neopolitan mastiff we just give him milk to drink then wear black jeans

her man is a neopolitan mastiff beautiful pups, quite like an english mastiff and intensely loyal, just have to ensure they have the right owners

our Dogue de Bordeaux bitch says "hi, but your not my type"

the good thing about spreading your progeny around is being able to get some back pretty much sums up these forums
